Who you really are, your True Nature, is no more tied to the kind of person you’ve been than the wind is tied to the skies through which it moves.
You have a destination far beyond where you find yourself standing today.
Your past is just that, the past, a place within your psyche with no more reality to it then the picture of a castle on a postcard is made from stone.
The past is as powerless to darken the present moment as is a shadow to reach up and drag down the form that casts it.
What good is any feeling we may have about ourselves, if it only lasts as long as others agree to it?
Instead of always asking yourself why so-and-so acts this or that way, learn to ask: “What’s inside of me that wants to hurt itself over how anyone else acts?”
The only reason your mind won’t stop its endless chattering is because you won’t stop listening to it!
It only seems that there is something more important for you to do than to just quietly be yourself.
Ours is the task of discovering that our true nature has nothing to fear.
It’s time to break our ties with anything in us that would rather complain about its situation than go to work to change it.
Those who dare to try what others only dream of – never fail to discover that real effort is always rewarded.
It is Spiritually impossible to hide and see at the same time.
Spend everyday casual, but industrious Every moment alert, but relaxed.
Work to connect yourself to the allness of life – instead of identifying with the smallness of it – and you’ll awaken to a greatness already living within you that is no more bothered by the little things in life than a mountain is made miserable by the rain that falls upon it.
Real love cannot be deceived because it wants nothing outside of itself.
Do the moment-to-moment work of dropping anything that wants to drag you down, and Reality itself will see to it that you rise.
An unattended mind is the breeding ground of self-defeat.
Once you know what it means to choose in favor of yourself, there is no power in the universe that can make you choose against yourself.
The Peace you long for also longs for you.
Each time that you don’t know you are choosing, then of those choices you are not the chooser.
